Hello,

Thank you very much for the ultracomprehensive reply. I was just wondering how the flash system is presenting the cards via usb (it unmounts them as soon as the cable is plugged in). Now I see that I haven't had a slightest idea how it works.

To get it short: booting off sd excludes it and to get to the cards (or would it be only external one?) via usb, one has to boot off flash. Still the external card can be formatted in fat, right?

I'm quite used to linux and windows interaction, but in all cases the gentoo machine was the host I mounted all the shares on. I have never tried it the other way around.

Best,
